Can you guys please post pics and specs of wheels 10in or wider, non staggered setups preferably, I've looked all over the net and I'm having a very hard time finding wide wheels with the right offset for the Rx8.
And yes I've used the search function and saw Team's 10.5 setup, also Derex'8, and c41250n, etc............... But didn't see a specific thread on wide non-staggered rims. Thanks in advanced

Oh and yes, I'm a noob

 

check this thread https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/calling-all-ame-wheels-134639/

 

Thanks, I've already seen that thread, note that I mentioned Derex8 on my 1st post, and though the pics are great I'm more interested on knowing where to get the wheels and seeing as many options as possible b4 making a purchase.

 

ah. well you will have to get your fenders rolled along with some other stuff, just to let you know

 

well, there's members here that have done it without rolling fenders, they've done it with alignments, other offsets, etc......... This is what I'm interested on, pics would be great also.

 

It's all about the correct offsets....Alignment shouldn't be done to make wheel fit......

 

yea, you wouldnt want to be changing the camber and all that good stuff just to make the wheel fit.

 

what sizes are guys running????

 

i am stock for now, but i have been doing a little reading on it so i know what size to buy. i am probably going to go with 18x9 with 45-35 offset

 

My first choice were the enkeis RPf1 18x9.5 with 45mm offset, but I saw teamRX8's thread on 18x10.5 and fell in love(https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...light=18x10.5), unfortunately he seems to be the only 1 with such setup and I think he just went back to stock, hopefully more people will come forward to show their wide wheels

 

nice avatar khronus79

 

 

Thanks, I get lots of compliments on it, her name is Maria da Graca mello, a brazilian girl, she's outrageous.

Team, I don't know if I should thank you or just keep hating you, like I said b4 that's the best setup here IMHO

 

I have 19 x 10 on mine, check the myspace for pics.

 

Is it me, or does it look like team's front wheels are lifting under acceleration?

 

they are his back end is squatting like it has to take a mad duece

 

Sorry to go off topic here...for those interested heres another shot...front end...

 

^^^^^try youtube

 

I OCD'ed for a few weeks until I found SSRs in the same size and offset as Team. GT2s, in JDM-licious gold. Last ones new in the country, as far as I know.

Still don't have the car. At least it's all picked out now, just waiting for paperwork.


BBS has an 18x10 RG-R that would be a good choice, assuming it clears brakes. Not inexpensive, though. www.tirerack.com doesn't bring it up for the RX-8.
Offset: 42mm Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size: 265/35-18
**Lightweight: 19.9lbs.**

 

BBS rims are reallyyyy expensive

 

I'm still debating on the enkeis, for the price I don't think they can be beat

 

+1 for BBS...

 

i have 19x9.5 all round, and its lowered and i never get any rubbing, 255/35/19 tires

 

look at my car 19x8 in front and 19x10 in rear, the only thing that sucks is that i cant rotate them but i guess thats the price you pay to look soooooo damn good

 

can you tell me more about your set up???? what wheels are those, weight, what tires, suspension, etc............
thanks.

Hondakilla, I really like the way your rear wheels look, my only problem is that I want the same size all around


+2 on the BBS's
-1 on the price
